Chonos Chomos Concrete // Colour Changing Concrete

Project Team: Afshin Mehin, Chris Glaister and Thomas Rosen

Chronos Chromos Concrete is a system able to dynamically display patterns, numbers and text in concrete surfaces. Applications span products for the home through to large scale architectural installations.

Winner of the Cement Creativity Awards 2003, the project was subsequently taken on by Innovation RCA, based at the Royal College of Art in London, for further development.

Subsequently, Tomas Heatherwick chose a one off piece for his Conran Foundation Collection at the Design Museum, London, in 2004 where it was displayed amongst a thousand other "ingenious inventions" which had caught his eye.

In 2005, a proposal for an interactive public square won 1st prise in the Robustness in Design Competition coming in ahead of many international entrants.
